        John was probably right in saying that their relationship was superficial, since that was how he felt. But it was probably not because of him or those he met. It depended on the situation, in this case that they were always at the pub when they met. The place itself increases the likelihood of certain behaviors and reduces the likelihood of others. It is therefore unlikely that the club is the situation where John finds the kind of relationship that he desires. John agreed with the therapist that they must work to find situations that give high probability of behaviors that John likes. The idea is that he must expose himself to these situations as often as possible.

        This simple example illustrates the role that situations play in behaviors, and how to make use of this when trying to achieve change.

        In the CBT tradition, we define behavior a bit broader than what people generally do in everyday speech. We see everything that the individual does, visible or not, as a behavior. A behavior is anything you might do in a given situation, that depends on certain contingencies. Much of this treatment concerns gaining knowledge about how to govern your behavior and how you can change it to improve your well-being. Additionally, you will learn how to become more aware of how you can influence the situation you are in. This can increase the likelihood of you performing behaviors that benefit you in the long term.
